SHOPPER/S NAIL CLEANING AND POLISHING SET.

Application rled March 27, 1926. Serial 1\1'o.9?,952`.`

tion relates to improvements in the construcy tion and arrangement of the buifer member lof said device, and the method of mounting said buffer member upon the body of the device. T he object of said improved construction and arrangement is, to protect thebuffer from becoming soiled when it is being carried in the pocket or a hand-bag.

The construction of my improved nail cleaning and polishing set is herein'shown and described with suiiicient clearnes's to enable others to make and use the same, reference 'being had to the accompanying Vdrawings which form a part hereof and in which:

Fig. 1 is an end view of said device.

Fig. 2 is a side view of the same.

Y Fig. 3 is a transverse section; these three views show the buffer inV its inward, or protected-position, as when carried in the pocket.

Fig. at is a bottom view of the device.

Ylig. 5 is an end view of the. device with the buer reversed, and'in'the Fig. 6 is a side view of Fig.` 5.

is a transverse section of Fig. 6.

Fig. 8 is face view of the buffer member.

Fig. 9 is an end view of the body ofthe device, with the buffer member and the closure element of the tubular chamber omitted.

As illustrated in the drawings, this construction comprises a tubular body or case 1, having upon one side thereof a longitudinally-disposed extension 2 which is formed l into a receptacle for the reception of manicure accessories; said receptacle is also arranged to carry, in the form of a closure or cover, a buffer-member 3,7see especially Fig. 8. one side of which is suppliedwith suitable vbutter material as 4.

One or both end walls off said `receptacle 5 Vhas a notch 6 formed therein. VAs previously stated. saidv buffer' memberis vadapted and arranged to form ya lidor 'cover for thereceptacle chamber 5, and is provided at one or both ends thereof with a tenon 7 adaptedv ,to occupy said notches 6. Saidv member-.3

tits closelyfinto Vsaid receptacle .chamber 5 and is frictionally retained therein. VSaid tenons are adapted to form nail-ledges and position forV forth. f

are arranged to be engaged by the thumb or {ginger-nail in the removal of the butter mem- In order that saidbuffer member may be so positioned, when not in use, as to: fully protect the buffer material et carried upon one side thereof from becomingsoiled or unduly worn, 'said member 3 is adapted to be reversibly carried in the chamber 5, so that, when not in use the buifer material may be turned inward, as illustrated in Figs. 1, 2 and 3, .and when in use, it may be turned outward, as vindicated in Figs. 5, 6 and 7.

Inother respects than. the construction and arrangementof the buffer member'asv tears i above described, the device here shown .is v substantially identical with that shown in said Letters Patent No. 1,520,895, and includes container 1,-also the chamber 11 in a modified form,l both of which are adapted and intended for the reception of manicure accessories.

I claim the following:

1. In a shoppers nail cleaning andpolish- .ing setl comprising a tubular container, closure elements removably carried in each end of said container and a longitudinally-disposed extension formed upon one lside' of said kcontainer forming a receptacle; the combination with the foregoing structure of a buer be positioned either withinor without said l compartment, as and forV the purposes A`set In a shopperis nail cleaning and polish'- ing set, a tubular body having a lateral',VV

'longitudinall'ydisposed extension formingfa receptacle,- a coverfor said receptacle arif ranged to be -reversibly appliedthereto, and a buffer material vcarried upon one side of said cover; said. reversibility being for the los.

purpose of adapting said butter material to.` be positioned either 'withiny or withoutsaid receptacle las desired. Y
